Gilded silver reproduction of one gold torcs, coming from 5th-6th cs. BC, from the Archaic Jewellery Collection of the National Archaeological Museum (Inv. Au-40), in Lisbon. This work was carried out without touching the original artefact through the use of 3D scanning technology and CAD/CAM software, before proceeding with the goldsmith handwork, after the lost wax casting being made.
